Become a River Champion

River Champion levels are named after aquatic species of conservation concern in Missouri.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Stream Teams United since our founding in 1999! The Missouri Stream Team Watershed Coalition extends our sincere appreciation to Pat Jones, for her many years of support of Missouri Stream Teams and our coalition. In 2019, we began recognizing our supporters as River Champions.
